The role focuses on building scalable, accessible UI systems, collaborating with design and product teams, and driving migration from Angular to React to ensure consistent UI across healthcare

Qualifications

• 5+ years in front-end systems, design systems or component libraries with React and TypeScript.
• Experience designing typed component APIs and shipping a design system as a published package.
• Hands-on experience with Figma Dev Mode, variables, and Code Connect.
• Experience building design token pipelines using DTCG formats and tools such as Style Dictionary or Tokens Studio.

• Build and maintain the @verity/tokens pipeline from DTCG design tokens through Style Dictionary, CSS custom properties, and typed output.
• Create a code-to-Figma token workflow using Figma Variables, staging files, and review practices that prevent silent design drift.
• Author Code Connect mappings so Figma Dev Mode and coding agents generate real @verity/ui components instead of generic markup.
• Define the AI-ready system surface, including MCP context, component manifests, registries, repo guidance, and agent evaluation workflows.
• Strengthen CI quality gates for accessibility, visual regression, app-level regression, linting, and code ownership.
• Manage release discipline through Changesets, semantic versioning, API contract checks, and migration-ready codemods.
